Home of the Papillon Bitch Breed Record Holder, with an incredible 44 Kennel Club Challenge Certificates and winner of 9 Championship Show Toy Groups.
We are well known, established breeders of quality healthy dogs for many years. We are highly successful in the show ring and are very proud of the dogs we show and breed. We have bred Champions in the United Kingdom in each of our breeds, and many have won at the highest level.
In addition to the breeds which we currently show, Kirsty has bred, owned and campaigned English Springer Spaniels and Skye Terriers to Championship titles in England and Ireland, as well as importing a young Irish Setter from Sweden, who also gained his crown in the United Kingdom. In Ireland, between us we have bred/owned 10 Irish Champions in Cavaliers, English Springer Spaniels, King Charles Spaniels, Sussex Spaniels & Dachshunds.
Between us, we award CCs in the Hound, Gundog, Terrier and Toy Groups in the United Kingdom and Evan is also a Championship Show Toy Group judge. We have a vast experience and interest in all breeds, and are always happy to discuss ‘dogs’ in general.
Over the years we have made up many Champions both in England and overseas and have won many 'Top' awards - Breeder, Brood, Stud Dog, Adult & Puppy.
Since the Coronavirus pandemic, dogs bred or owned by us have won over 170 Kennel Club Challenge Certificates, as well as Championship Show Toy & Terrier Groups; and Toy, Terrier and Hound Ch Show Puppy Groups in the United Kingdom. We have also bred two Irish Group 4 (Dachshunds) Winners.
We have bred two All Breed Ch Show Best Puppy in Show Winners (a Cavalier and a Standard Long) and have also owned a Papillon who won BPIS All Breeds at Ch level; and was runner-up overall at the Eukanuba Puppy of the Year finals 2022.
We are the home of the only Papillon to qualify for the Eukanuba Champion Stakes finals in 2025, and she was also the Top Papillon for 2024. The kennel has housed the Top Skye Terrier for 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.
We had the great honour to win BEST IN SHOW ALL BREEDS at Windsor Championship Show 2025 from an entry of over 7,000 dogs.
We have bred/owned Crufts Best of Breed winning Skye Terriers, King Charles Spaniels and Standard Longhaired Dachshund, as well as winning ResCC with 3 different Papillon Bitches at 3 consecutive Crufts shows. We have won Best Puppy at Crufts with Cavaliers, King Charles and Skye Terriers.
Each dog is health tested in line with current guidance (and additional tests where we deem those applicable). We give only the best care and attention given to each of our dogs and litters and only breed when we want another puppy for ourselves for the show ring.
Enquiries are welcome, but we strictly reserve the right to refuse any sale/stud where the home or prospective litter may not be deemed suitable. We are always happy to help new or interested breeders in any of our breeds, and are very proud of the fact that we have sold many Champions and winners to newcomers in their respective breeds.
Visitors are always welcome, but by appointment only.
Please note:
We DO NOT keep waiting lists. Requests to be added to waiting lists will be politely declined.
